two small size scan samples on your site. doesn't really matter what scanner you use then does it? i don't think i used any scans over 1600 dpi for mine, since these were simply test scans.

i often don't run max res of 4800 dpi on my scans, it takes more time get results that are simply overkill anyways. and i've had generous opportunities to use imacons... but wouldn't be able to justify the very slight (IMHO) quality differences for the outrageous cost differential.

just my thoughts, YMMV. and sure, if you have or have access to an imacon, i certainly can't blame you for using it.

my next ektar roll will prolly be run thru my holga exposing the frame thru the sprockets. i dunno.
